Folks, Thanks for all the input. I went to Walmart and got a dehumidifier that I set up to drai into the galley sink. As I went to leave the boat until December a larger boat (55 footer) was getting ready to go to Key West for a rendezvous. They has two dehumidifiers on board that they took...

Yes in the water with metered electric

Folks, (Assuming my insurance issue is resolved ) I will be storing the boat in the water in NE Florida from now til December 1. Read from past posts to close the windows and have a dehumidifier discharge into galley sink. Do I also have to bag up linens, or is the dehumidifier enough...

So the Brunswick Landing Marina has a program that is full for the 2023 - 2024 season. The season starts July 1 and runs for a year. Due to the timing of the contracts they do not know now how many slots will open up for the 2024-2025 season. Given the distance from my desired homeport, the...

Thanks guys. I read about bridges in Florida on the web but it seemed to imply vehicular traffic. And further north on the ICW, some bridges won’t open if it’s blowing sustained winds over 20. I did call the Ortega River Bridge tender and was told 34 knots for greater than 2 minutes duration...

Larry, Still working on it, and will give a full report when done. But do need to know at what wind speed those Ortega River bridges shut down. PM me if you know. John

Larry, Markle Insurance wants a named storm haul out contract. I called Green Cove Springs, that is a service they don't have. The closest I could find on the internet was in Brunswick, a day away from here. One of the requirements for this type of service is that they available space...

I'm in Jacksonville wanting to keep the boat here over the summer. Insurance company say I would have to be hauled out in a named storm. I'm looking for a marina I can contract with to haul my 40 footer in case of a hurricane. Nearest I could find after a brief internet search was Brunswick...

If you have matching lights, you may need parts. All lights need new innards. The two larger pieces are the same light, just front and back. They are free if you send me me money for the appropriate sized priority mail box and a mailing label. I own them. They are in Jacksonville. Offer...

Thanks Tilt rider, I ordered the zero g. I saw one earlier in my travels this moth and it will stow well. Also outside coating is paint friendly.

Max, That I got. Am boat bound so it's Amazon for me. Several choices in the white R?V hose queue. trying to narrow it down.

I tried searching and got a headache. Recommendations please on a hose to go from dock faucet to the boat. I pulled out last years and it is stiff and sticky.

Any place you buy chain down there all comes from the same place. I got mine through Lamb’s in Jacksonville, but their supplier was out of the Miami-Lauderdale area.

So take a close look at the above. The boat is worth 126K. If you go with Chubb and have a claim for 72K, the boat becomes “totaled” and they give you 72K and you give them the boat. But say you want to keep the boat and repair it. You would have to purchase the boat back (for salvage value of...

If you are in Canada and plan on doing the ICW you will traverse New Jersey. NJ requires a boating course certificate to operate in its waters. Any course approve by NASBLA will do. There are free courses and certifications on line, or if you don’t fit into one of the free ones, there are...
